In this context, the so called direct-conversion front-end architecture is of big interest for building compact radios. One practical issue in this context is the so called I/Q imbalance problem related to the amplitude and phase matching of the I and Q branches of each analog front-end. In this paper, we analyze the I/Q imbalance effects in a multiantenna setup and show that I/Q imbalance is relatively even bigger problem in MIMO systems than in their traditional single antenna counterparts. As an example, the basic 2/spl times/1 Alamouti transmit diversity scheme is examined in detail and a closed-form solution for the resulting signal-to-interference ratio at the output of the receiver combining stage is derived as a function of imbalance properties. The obtained results indicate that I/Q imbalance can easily become a limiting factor in multiantenna systems, and should carefully be mitigated using proper analog or digital signal processing. In general, the analysis results are verified using extensive computer simulations.","PeriodicalId":244560,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130873348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method can be extended to other mutually interfering radio devices. A reference signal correlated to the original interferer is used to generate a cancellation signal by means of amplitude and phase alignment, and filtration. The filter employed emulates the coupling channel responsible for interference. An implementation of this procedure in 0.18 micrometer Si-CMOS IC technology is also presented. The circuits fabricated are tunable and are controlled externally by a closed loop adaptive process including an error minimization method. The cancellation system designed achieves 15-30 dB of interference suppression for different cases. A total power of 14 mW is dissipated by the CMOS ICs designed.","PeriodicalId":244560,"journal":{"name":"2006 IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133459384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With distance and data rate analysis, it is demonstrated that the proposed pulse design is efficient as compared to previously proposed standard Gaussian monocycles.
